Can anyone recommend a wireless network camera?

and if you can, would you be able to describe how to set it up since there is none officially supporting the Mac OS.
Sorry for the off-topic post but I have not been able to find an answer to this just by browsing the net.
Thanks

The Axis 207W supports the Mac for viewing, but I'm not sure whether you need a PC to configure it.
I don't think it's available yet, but it looks promising in that it supports audio as well as video and also WPA and WPA2 security.

  • Can Anyone Recommend an Ad Network?

    Hi,
    Can anyone recommend an ad network other than OpenX and Mochi Ads for a Flex 3 website?
    Thank you.

    I'm NOT primarily aiming to insult you.  However, this is one of those scenarios (&/or situations) where: if you're NOT up-to-date on current aspects of the available technology, then why are you even entering the discussion?
    For your further edification (& those who may "stumble" upon this discussion)...
    For my own reasons & purposes, I mainly use a Windows-based PC for most of my computing.  There are several well-documented deficiencies & flaws with using iTunes to execute iPhone data backups. (Don't waste your energy trying to advise me what comprises a backup.  I hold advanced university degrees & have been BUILDING computers for years).  As a result of multiple iTunes deficiencies, there are several existing (3rd party) apps in the App Store that will allow an iPhone user to backup or transfer data from said iPhone on to other platforms (whether that platform be a PC computer, Mac computer, a virtual or "cloud" storage archive, or another mobile device).
    I also work p/t in the broadcast journalism business.  So, the writing in my initial posting was very clear (for someone who already has knowledge of those existing applications to which I referred).  I was simply soliciting feedback from any persons who have already used some of those existing 3rd party apps to backup their address book, notes, camera roll, &/or other items from their iPhone.
    Again, not aiming to be mean nor am I taking a pot-shot at your intellect (because I obviously do not know you from Adam or Eve).  For all I know, you could hold a JD, MBA, or PhD.  However, sometimes you have to "sit out" of some discussions if you don't possess a certain level of prowess or expertise with that specific topic.

  • Can anyone recommend a wireless router

    can anyone recommend a wireless router....I just bought a Ipod Touch and have not been able to use all of the features. I currently have Windows XP Pro.....the one main computer in the house, a Xbox 360 is hooked up to a Linksys router at the moment. I'm new at this and don't know the specifications I would need for the Ipod Touch and which router works the best with it.

    The iPod Touch only uses b/g wireless standards, so you can use any wireless-g router. Since Wireless-N is the next standard, you can usually get a Wireless-G at an economical price. G is an older standard and quite sturdy. Linksys would be a good choice for you since you are already using one from that company. Just swap it out with your existing router. Special note: if you do go wireless, be sure to shut off the wireless on your iPod Touch when not using it; drains the battery.

  • Can anyone recommend a wireless bridge?

    I would like to get one as it takes out the hassle of drivers for wireless and means I'll get better signal quality as it doesn't have to be right next to my PC.
    Can anyone recommend one that works well with linux? (so using a web browser to configure the connection) and working with WPA would be a bonus.
    I'm in the UK if that helps.

  • Can anyone recommend a good inexpensive camera to shoot with?

    Hello again!
    Would someone be able to recommend a good, inexpensive ($200 or less) MiniDV camera that I can use to shoot and works well with FCE. I've got an external drive connected to my macbook via firewire, so I'm not sure how I'd be able to capture video from the camera via firewire (I guess USB works?).
    I'm pretty new to editing, but thanks to Tom's book I'm picking up FCE very quickly. I currently have a Flip Mino camera (theflip.com) but it connects via USB to my computer and produces AVI files that I have to convert using MPEG Streamclip. I don't mind doing this, but I'd rather shoot higher quality video and capture it in FCE.
    Any suggestions? Thanks in advance...you guys have been awesome answering my questions!

    And I revert to an initial question I had: If my external drive must be connected to FCE at start-up, and I need FCE to capture video from my camera, how does that work with just one firewire port?
    The short answer is that, "It doesn't work." You'd need to reset your Scratch Disk and capture to your internal drive, then move the captured files to the external. In order to capture to your external drive, you'll need to daisy chain camera to drive/drive to computer. It's Canon's odd implementation of the firewire standard which can cause problems in daisy chaining with their cameras.

  • Can anyone recommend a print server that will work with Mac & PCs?

    Can anyone recommend a wireless print server that will work with Macs and PCs ?

    Wireless has a disadvantage for many Powerbooks.  Unless yours supports 802.11g, it is not secure.  So it must support Airport Extreme on the Powerbook to have a secure wireless network.   Also many printers only support 802.11b, making matters worse, as that is not secure.  See my FAQ* on printing:
    http://www.macmaps.com/printersx.html
    Some printers have ethernet ports, which would allow you to use a Wireless ethernet bridge that is 802.11g.  Similarly you could use one on the Mac, and then you'd have your wireless printing.  Ask the printer manufacturer what might be possible.  The last thing you want is an insecure network, especially if you are at most 4500 meters/1500 feet from someone who could pick it up and log into it that you don't want.

  • Can anyone recommend a router?

    Can anyone recommend a wireless router or a router/Airport combination for our office (in UK). I've had troubles with VPN in the past so would like a router that plays nicely with Mac OS X Server VPN.
    Presumably a router/Airport combo will be the the most Mac Server friendly way to go.

    Well, you could give it a go, but my honest opinion, especially if you're having difficulty with VPN's is get one box to do the lot.
    We have 4 sites here, each one with a Draytek router, and a LAN-LAN VPN set up on each to each. In addition we have a dial-in VPN on each, with all Macs at each location. LAN-LAN VPN is faultless, dial-in VPN is great as long as you have a good quality broadband connection.
    I use Time Machine to the server (it has the advantage of being easily upgradable for storage space, unlike Time Capsule) and we all back up to that (there are some disadvantages to using TM on the server, see here: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9630985#9630985) and everything works flawlessly, with the exception of the difficulties described in the above thread.
    I agree to a certain extent about using Apple tech where possible, but I would say use the appropriate technologies for the environment you're working in.
    Time capsule, Airport and a cable modem is pretty much perfectly designed for a home environment, but if you're working in a corporate environment, I recommend using corporate technologies.
    It just strikes me that you're over-complicating things. Compare the two solutions side by side:
    Your suggested business model:
    Cable Modem, Airport router with VPN pass-through (which you know is unreliable), Time Capsule, OS X server with VPN
    My suggested model:
    Wireless modem/router with VPN, OS X Server running Time machine over the network.
    The fewer points of failure you have, the better. Let OS X server deal with the Mac side of life, let the router deal with the network side of life. Their two areas of responsibility meet nicely in the middle without any crossover, using standard technologies.
    Like I say, just my point of view, but I would go for simple and standard over Mac-oriented but complicated every time.

  • Can anyone recommend a good wireless webcam?

    I wouldd like to set up a wireless web cam in my 8 month oldd son's room as a baby monitor, as the ones you can buy in the shops tend to interfere with my existing wireless network.
    I found a couple of suitably cheap ones (under £100) from Linksys, but they are only windows compatible (the video viewer is a windows app). DLink make some, but I am not sure if they will work with Safari.
    Can anyone recommend a decent, reasonably-priced wireless webcam thhat will definitely work with a Mac.

    I can't recommend a specific camera but do know which ones to avoid. As you have found out avoid cams that require windows to setup. Also avoid wireless cameras that don't support WPA security. Most cams don't have security or they use WEP this means anyone could be outside your house looking through your camera!.

    I have a Netgear wndr3400 and I can "join a wireless network" but can not "extend a wireless network" on my Airport express.  Does anyone know why?

    Sorry, but "Extend a wireless network" is a proprietary Apple setting that will only work if you have another Apple router.
    It is not compatible with devices from other manufacturers.

  • Wireless Network Camera

    Hi there, i'm in need of some help.
    I need to set up a wireless network camera for some home security.
    I've been recommended some software called Security Spy, i just need a cost effective indoor camera which is pointing outside through he window. Ideally it needs to have motion detection, but to be honest I really don't know that much about them and I'm getting desperate. Can anyone point me in the right direction of someone who sells Mac network compatible cameras please, any help or advice will be massively appreciated thank you all.

    evocam isn't bad...
    it uses your inbult isight cam or a web cam
    you can set up either static shots or constant video feed over http:// or even ftp
    otherwise there are lots of IT/electronic companies that sell basic IP cameras ~AU$200 pretty easy to set up and often come with software based motion detection

  • Can anyone recommend a USB print server for both Mac & Windows?

    After spending at least 20 hours trying to get my Macbook to print to a Windows XP shared printer, I am giving up and going the print server route. Unfortunately there seem to be a LOT of options and some are >$100. I want to be sure to find one that works for both Mac and Windows XP. Can anyone recommend a print server based on experience?
    It can be hard-wired to the network (does not need to be wireless) and only needs one USB port. Also, it does not need to be "multi-function" compatible.
    Thanks in advance!

    Unfortunately, Apple just started using the CUPS printing system ~4 years ago. With CUPS drivers, you can print to all the standard comm protocols, the way drivers work in Windows. But except for Brother's, NO non-postscript printer driver on OS X was written to use CUPS. Instead they are using Carbon, the OLD OS 9 legacy programming interface. In that, they get to specify exactly which protocol is supported - and that's nearly always ONLY USB.
    So, we have to rely on third party CUPS drivers. See if Gutenprint supports yours:
    http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/macosx
    or else, you may need to use printfab:
    www.printfab.net
    About print servers - they nearly all support "standard" protocols, which OS X (with CUPS drivers) can print to.

  • Wireless Network Cameras

    Can anyone explaing to me step-by-step, how to attach a wireless video camera to my network and have my Mac recognize it. I just returned to amazom.com my Linksys wvc54g cause mac won't recognize it. I would like to use Evocam or Security Spy, or IveZeen in order to record wireless video.
    Is anyone out there knowledgable about this keeping in mind that most of us are novices at networking. I set up my Linksys router to my Airport extreme card in my G5, and it's working fine. Only, I want to purchase a wireless camera, ( a D-Link 900W I hear works).
    Any help here would be greatly appreciated. I have been using Macs since 1984 so I am a little familiar with all the other aspects of my G5.

  • Can anyone recommend me a Northbridge fan replacement?

    I have a MSI K8N Neo4-F nForce4 and recently i have been experiencing random crashes and lock ups which i think are due to the northbridge fan failing (it was making horrible noises).
    I tried to replace this with the Asaka heatsink/fan combination thing but it didn't fit under the graphics card as there is only about 1.5cm vertical space available. Can anyone recommend a replacement suitable for this motherboard? Preferably a cheap one. =)
    Also -i don't know much about chipset- is it safe to run the computer without a northbridge fan installed assuming i don't do anything intensive like games or whatever?
    Thanks in advance.

    I was sniffing around some other forums,(as you do), when I came across this post. It sounds intresting, and may be worth giving it a try.

    "Repair your noisy cpu and system fans
    This is a fix that will last for a long, long time.
    Buy some graphite powder and some oil at an auto or hardware store. They come in different packages. For oil, the best is the pen-type as they are easy to handle and only give a small amount at a time. Just about any oil in a pen format will work fine. The graphite powder comes in small plastic tubes. But make sure you get graphite powder, not graphite oil, its too thin for this job! So you need graphite powder in a small tube and oil in a round "pen" that can be squeezed out and placed just where you need it. Also, when the oil is used up in the "pen" you can open it and add your own oil.
    First, clean the fan blades off real well. If you have a heatsink with the fan then clean the heatsink off as well. You can even use a bit of your oil and some q-tips for cleaning if needed. Then, take the small circle, it usually has a name on it, but its in the middle of the fan. Peel one edge up carefully and put a very small amount of oil in where you lifted the label up. Now add some graphite powder in the same place where you put the oil, add as much or a bit more of the graphite powder than the oil. Clean off excess oil and graphite and push the label back where it was. You may need a very small amount of duct tape to hold the label in position and to prevent leakage. This is important if the fan is going to "sit up" as opposed to lying flat.
    Now put the fan back where you want it and when it starts spinning it may be noisy for a few seconds until the graphite\oil works its way in. Then it will stop and it will stay stopped for many years and you may very well not need to buy a new fan after all!
    I experimented a lot with this and this is the very best way to quiet all those fans and have them work well. I have always been a big fan of those removable ide hard drive trays that you can buy. But the fans are the pits, they get noisy real fast. So i had to find a way to fix them as they are very expensive and hard to replace. Now i don't have to. Combo of oil and graphite is the very best, by far. One caution, graphite stains worse than
    oil, so be careful! I'm talking about staining your clothes and hands.
    You can use this system with all CPU fans, video card fans, system fans, and even fans inside power supplies. But one word of caution, its easy to open a power supply and take out the fan, but do be careful as there are voltages there can can hurt you badly. If you don't know what you are doing then wear rubber gloves to get the fan out and to put the fan back in after the
    repair!
    Trust me, this will work. If the fan spins my method will work for years and I have even fixed fans that were stuck and wouldn't spin! This is better done with the fan on the table but in those cases where you cant or don't want
    to take the fan out of the system, that's where the "pen" with the needle comes in again, but i still find a way to get some graphite in as well, graphite is what makes the oil last a long time! And graphite is also an oil, but you need both together for maximum effectiveness. Oil by itself will only last a few weeks or so and then evaporate, and the fan will get noisy again. Its the graphite powder that does the long term job. The oil really only helps to spread the graphite powder around really well so the graphite can do the job!
    Hope you do as well as i have with this info!"
    End Quote.
    Edit - Additional Info
    The type of northbridge fan used on some MSI boards, eg K8N Platinum & Diamond etc, require that you remove the fan from the board first (you will have to remove the motherboard to do this). This is because the top of the shroud is attached from the bottom by two tiny Phillips type screws. Once you have removed the shroud, very gently prise off the fan from the motor assembly. There is no need to try and remove the three other tiny screws that secure the fan motor in place to the bottom half of the shroud. Once removed, you will see that under the fan is a small plastic pin that holds the sleeve bearing in place.

  • I have a mid-2010 iMac and just purchased a 2TB TC, can't join existing wireless network with AC standard so attached to iMac via ethernet with TC wifi turned off.  How do i access TC now? not showing up in disk utility or on desktop. working fine with TM

    I have a mid-2010 iMac and just purchased a 2TB TC, I just found out that it can't join existing wireless network with new AC standard so attached to iMac via ethernet with TC's wifi turned off.  How do i access TC now? not showing up in disk utility or on desktop. It is working fine with TM.  My cheeper seagate drives etc kept crashing, so i didnt trust cheeper back up options anymore.  Connected those drives to TM via firewire and could see the drives and access them.
    Also, I didn't want to bridge TC with my new fios router that I paid 100 dollars for, to get N speed and also paying 10 dollars more a month for fast speed.  I heard that bridging slows down everything and then there can be port issues with mail etc.  I connect to the internet via airport only and it is pretty fast. Getting over 50mbs downloads and over 30mbs uploads.  Plus everything in my home it connected to my fios router, airport express for music streaming, two apple tvs, vuezone camer system.  I really didn't want to monkey around too much with my system.  But are there other options to connect the new TC.  Can't find info anywhere for this and called apple who gave me the info above.  after hanging up, i see that i cant access my TC and I am wondering if i would have to reset it to turn wifi on again to make changes to the drive, turn off blinking light  or repair it in disk utility if it should become corrupted.
    For other with similar issues i did solve some other problems: when i connected it to my ethernet port on my iMac wifi stopped working.  Found that I had to turn off the ethernet in the system>network screen, but then TM didn't see the TC so i restarted after changes and then it saw it.
    Now a rant.  I can't believe in this wireless age that Apple would make a product that cant join a wireless net work.  The apple rep said i could return it and look for the previous TC that would join an existing wireless network.  Are we going backwards?
    Thanks!

    Ok... it is getting a bit clearer but there are still some questions.
    I connect to the internet via airport only and it is pretty fast.
    I was assuming airport in this statement in your first post meant the TC or the Express.. but I now realise we are still in the mass confusion stage where apple calls everything wireless an airport. So what you mean is the airport internal card of the computer??
    Also, I didn't want to bridge TC with my new fios router that I paid 100 dollars for, to get N speed and also paying 10 dollars more a month for fast speed.  I heard that bridging slows down everything and then there can be port issues with mail etc.
    I think this is mistaken.
    Putting the TC in bridge mode plugged into your FIOS will not slow the network.. nor will it cause mail or port issues.. in bridge the TC is just a fancy WAP and switch plus the network hard drive.
    If the computer is close it will be faster than the FIOS.
    You can run both wireless networks with different names.. so it is clear which is which. But you can also setup roaming so the computers themselves pick which is the best wireless.
    I tried extending the wireless net work and tried joining wireless network, but the TC kept crashing and I had to keep resetting the TC.  the Apple support person said these, extend wireless network and joint wireless network, are no longer a connection option with the new TC because of the new AC protocol.
    Thanks again!
    You cannot extend to a non-apple wireless router.
    You cannot use join a wireless network because when you do the ethernet ports will be cut off.
    But that has not changed.. I don't think Apple support is correct.. there has been no change with the AC model.. it is simply a fact that apple routers do not work in join wireless mode other than as a dumb client. The same applies to AC as to the earlier version.. but I have asked another person to check this.
    Join in the express is the only apple router that still allows an ethernet connection.
    For now you best use of the TC is bridged to the FIOS. Wireless you can sort out between several options.
